When I first got to Levanto, I had to ask the really nice lady at the souvenir shop at the train station which direction to take to take to get to Erba Persa. It was a bit of a distance, or felt like it, as I was dead tired and starving. Once I got to the place: wow -- haven!... more

We spent a great 4 night stay at l'Erba Persa. We were warmly welcomed by Grazia and Claudio, the owners. Grazia gave us good advice on where to eat. We had the room with the private bathroom and balcony, everything was clean, the towels were changed daily and the view was awesome! We enjoyed the buffet breakfast (bread, cereal, jam,... more

The fireflies in the garden were an added bonus.Grazie was a lovely helpful lady... more

This was our third time to the Cinque Terre area and rather than staying in the over-priced and noisy rooms/B&B's in the Cinque Terre, we decided to stay in Levanto. We are glad we did. L'Erba is a short walk from the train station (but far enough that there is no train noise) and it is easy to get to... more

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at this agriturismo. We had the room with the private bath -- the bed was really comfortable, and we loved our balcony overlooking the fields. Everything was very clean, and I love that you could smell the freshness of the sheets that have been line dried. Claudio picked us up and dropped us... more

The warm hospitality of Grazia and Claudio made the stay here a wonderful experience that we would be very happy to repeat. It is situated about a five minute walk from the train station, and about ten... more

If you are hesitating to book this place- don't, it is great! I was nervous as it had not yet been reviewed when I booked but I needn't have been, it was everything I had hoped for. Grazia picked us up from the station which was lovely and showed us around the place. Its not huge but it still feels... more

This review is long overdue. I've been meaning to write one for months now, but only recently established an account with TripAdvisor. I spent three weeks in Europe (Switzerland and Italy) in October 2007. I was eager to visit the Cinque Terre region, and multiple sources suggested that it would be easier and less expensive to stay in Levanto (just... more

Levanto is situated on a beautiful bay with a sandy beach, and the first town north of the Cinque Terre. Erba Persa is a delight, located a short walk from the train station and the city center. Claudio and Grazia call this small villa home, and strive to make you feel at home also. Claudio tends a beautiful garden and... more
